Panasonic’s Lumix range continues in its pleasingly classic styling with the new DMC-LX3K, a 10.1-megapixel point-and-shoot camera with a custom 1/1.63-inch CCD and many of the features and functionality previously limited to DSLR ranges. As well as a 2.5x optical zoom and 2.5fps image burst capture mode, it can capture images in the RAW format [...]
Wireless streamers capable of handling high-definition video aren’t new, exactly, but they’re often proprietary systems intended by a manufacturer solely for their own displays. Belkin are bucking the trend, therefore, with their upcoming FlyWire wireless HD interface. Capable of transmitting full 1080p/24, it replaces an HDMI cable while still allowing HDCP devices to play properly.
It turns out HDTVs are a bit hazardous to our health, well eventually. Actually, it turns out, all flat-panel displays aren’t so great.
LancerLink’s new camcorder isn’t exactly budget - it’ll be priced at around $470 when it arrives in Japan in July - but it’s pretty cheap for a compact high-definition model capable of full 1080p recording. What the DDV-1080HD lacks in imaginative naming, it makes up for in the spec sheet: a 1/2.5-inch 5-megapixel CMOS sensor, [...]
US digital camcorder and imaging company DXG already sell a budget high-def model, but since there’s always room on the shelves for an alternative they’ve unveiled the DXG-567V.

Bad news if you’re the sort of person who starts feeling guilty at having recorded dozens of shows but not actually watched any of them: Cannon PC have just released a demo video of their latest Windows Media Center mod, simultaneously recording six high-definition programs via six separate CableCARDs. If you’re not familiar with Media [...]
Seeing graphics cards which can take on the strain of decoding high-definition video is quite usual, but ASUS have turned the tables slightly with their Xonar HDAV1.3 sound-card. HDMI 1.3a compliant, the card takes on decoding surround-sound lossless audio from high-definition media, as well as including an integrated Splendid HD video processor. It’s based on [...]
With JVC rolling out a set of AVCHD-capable camcorders earlier this week, Sony have unveiled their own new HD HandyCam that can record 1080i 1,920 x 1,080 AVCHD video. The HDR-CX12 measures up at around the same size as a soda can and captures direct to Memory Stick PRO Duo cards (with 4GB included). It [...]
NEC have taken the wraps off of the MultiSync EA261WM, a 26-inch desktop LCD monitor with WUXGA resolution. That means a full 1,920 x 1,200 resolution widescreen panel that, in the EA261WM’s case, boasts a contrast ratio of 1,000:1, 400 cd/m2 brightness and 5ms response time.
